Most Webmail providers and Internet Service Providers offer a feature of email filtering which is executed right on their servers. That means that some emails initially routed to your Inbox will be rejected at the server level. This is point #1 where the emails get sifted and some of them land in a Spam folder.

Further on, a built-in email filter used in your desktop email client or a separate email filtering program installed on your computer may screen incoming mail again. It will look for suspicious mail and put it in the Spam folder. This is point #2 where incoming mail is filtered again.

As a result, an end user receives only part of the emails initially routed to their Inbox. Some emails are rejected on the server and some end up in the Spam folder of your favorite email client. The good news is that you can manually check what’s inside your email client’s Spam folder. The bad news is that email clients normally will not download the contents of the Spam folders of your tracked accounts. That’s really sad.

Weak points of email spam filters

Good emails from real senders can get trapped by a content filter in case “suspicious” words are used in the subject or message body

Emails from prospects and partners can be mistakenly regarded as spam because of the country code

You can still get messages from spammers because their IPs or email addresses haven’t yet been added to the black list

Good emails can get blocked because your email spam filter sensitivity settings are set to be too strict

Cost: You are expected to pay $19-$29 to use one of the popular email spam filters
